Abstract

"People's Capitalism"
Kemler, Edgar | February 25, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

The article author believes that the role of the people appears to have been largely passive in capitalism. While capitalism gave them the right to join unions and to strike for higher wages, there are no displays showing them actually engaged in such a strike. When they did get higher wages, it was because of capitalism's ever increasing "efficiency." This was at the turn of the century, when class lines began to disappear, when almost everybody became a capitalist with more leisure for cultural development.
